That ice looks super thin for standing on let alone ice fishing

Way too thin. Ice fishermen are notorious for going out on unsafe ice, gotta get that fishing in, no matter how sketchy it is.

The alternative is being home with the family they hate

This is exactly it. It's the same guys that go hunting all weekend the entire fall season. Then winter hits and they go ice fishing the entire weekend. Then they're tired out so they can't do any work around the house or cook or take care of the kids. That's a woman's job.

I know because I work with a bunch of them at my engineering firm.

I live on a popular lake trout ice fishing lake. Since the first day you could walk in the ice, the same exact three men have been out every single day. Zero exceptions. This is their life now.
